The successful candidate will join a team of 5 cardiac surgeons and 30+ APPs, contributing to a program that performs approximately 1800 cardiac procedures annually.

This new team member will have expertise in a specific area of cardiac surgery practice, such as transplantation / heart failure, robotics, atrial fibrillation, or complex aortic surgery.
